I logged onto my computer to find a Homegroup icon on my desktop, is this possibly a hack? I'm worried that something may have been compromised. Also regarding my wireless connection, instead of having just one network as usual available (ie:SB) i now show a second network in my connections (SB2) I know how to leave/disable homegroup, my main concern is that someone else gained access to my network/files by creating a homegroup? Thanks, any input would be appreciated.
